    Brilliantly close to the walkway yet private. A place for all weather, cozy if you need it, bright and open if it’s fine. Texture and warmth reflecting local environment and culture added to the ambiance. Well stocked for self catering. ...

    We loved everything. Perfect location and a thoughtfully created space oozing charm. Walking distance to restaurants and a walking path directly in front of property overlooking the sea.

  • Juliette

    Great location just above the seaside walkway and a short stroll into town. However, we could have easily just stayed put for our entire visit enjoying the serenity and the stunning view of the bay. Our hosts went the extra mile for us with...

    Location was obscenely spectacular with respect to both the views from the cottage, and the access to the walkway. Owners live on the property and are available and friendly but not at all intrusive and have used hedges for screening and privacy...

Cassie & Shaun Conaglen
Little Church Bay is a unique property which has been newly constructed using recycled materials where possible by Shaun (owner). Shaun has used his imagination to build a little Church which is cosy & romantic without leaving out any modern luxuries. By far the most striking feature of this property is its location as it is absolute beachfront with some of the best waves in Taranaki a few feet away. Little Church Bay is a rather large piece of waterfront land so in addition to being a B&B the property is also available to be hired for functions the most common of which are Wedding Ceremonies. Shaun has built a driftwood arch which overlooks the ocean and is perfect for that special day.
Shaun and I are originally from New Plymouth however have recently returned to New Plymouth having returned from living in Sydney for over 20 years. We have two teenage children, a dog and a cat. We are very much outdoor loving people with hobbies that include hanging out with family and friends, surfing, stand up paddle boarding, snow boarding, mountain biking, running, walking, cooking and yoga.
